  No. 812 This season, more than in many recent seasons, the military motif is getting quite a play. The classical "blue and gold" is carried out to singular effect with this jacket of blue trimmed with gold buttons and—no less—epaulettes on the shoulders, the fringe of which is 2 ply sports yarn. The hat repeats the color theme of the jacket with striking effect. No. 812 KNITTED JACKET AND HAT 6-8 years
